Lively and playful, this 3-strut allrounder has unparalleled versatility and wind range. Big jumps. Upwind performance. Effortless relaunch. For 2022 we’ve introduced a new lighter Dacron exo-skeleton in every size and revised the arc design for a crisper, snappier response, more direct steering and more dynamic recovery. Still nimble and easy to ride, but now with a cleaner profile that’s even more stable in kite loops, the Reach is your go-to kite in all conditions. The lighter construction excels throughout the entire wind range, foil and surf, without compromising the kite’s durability. Its fast, responsive steering and efficient power delivery give rise to incredible boosts, loops and freestyle, while the short responsive bridle provides quick, exponential depower. In the three larger sizes, the Reach is a powerful lightwind kite designed with a predictable, consistent drive forward for TwinTip riding – long after everyone else has gone in.

Technology
New N-DURE Dacron: Using a lighter Dacron on the leading edge and struts saves a significant amount of weight, without compromsing strength or durablity, and making what is already the lightest kite in our range even lighter.
Boosts and loops with a small reliable catch: The Reach has a smooth, consistent catch and during kite loops doesn’t hesitate to come back around.
Incredible stability for foil and lightwind: Boasting predictable, consistent power delivery in every condition, the Reach has exceptional performance at the low end – especially at slower speeds in lighter wind.
Massive wind range and upwind drive: The precise draft-forward profile, in combination with optimized profile transition panels, give the Reach a very smooth and efficient profile entry and upwind drive.
Revised Arc Design: The Reach remains light and fast, but is now more stable in kite loops and has a crisper, more snappy feel.
Lightweight bladders in every size: Bladders make up a bigger weight percentage than any other material used in a kite. The lighter the kite, the more efficiently it flies, the greater the performance in lighter winds, the faster the steering, the more lift created and the higher you jump.
No-Pulley bridles: New tuning of the short responsive bridle gives the Reach quick, exponential depower, allowing you to ride it in an even wider range of conditions.
Responsive Steering and well-balanced surf handling: Tactile handling with light bar pressure and steering impulse for a fast response and tight turning radius.
Confident Relaunch: Swept design helps the kite to release quickly from the water in even the lightest conditions.
More Durable: The thread in the closing seam has been replaced with a new durable higher tensile yarn that has improved fatigue and wear resistance.
Pop when you need it: A forgiving kite with pop when you need it for freestyle maneuvers. The progressive freestyle medium high aspect ratio, combined with a powerful profile, gives the Reach explosive pop.
DuraLite seam protection: Lightweight reinforcement to protect from chafing and abrasion along the struts to the leading edge. Thin foam padding is inserted underneath to form a lightweight durable buffer which lifts the kite slightly off rough surfaces, and protects the stitching along the struts and leading edge seams.
Kevlar-Reinforced: For the most accurate and durable connection between the strut and leading edge. Bridle deflectors on the leading edge prevent the control lines catching on the struts.
New HyperFlow rapid inflation: The cap and valve base geometry have been updated for more comfortable opening and closing in colder conditions (when your fingers are freezing).
Recycled PET Kite Bag with Foil Assist: Go Green. 33 recycled plastic bottles go into the production of every single North kite bag.
